Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

150. Return (2)

#150. Return (2)

The place we arrived at after passing through the portal was space.

Not Earth, but the solar system that Earth is visible from. Cynthia was thrown into space.

[ … It’s cold. ]

The cold of space was just right for Cynthia. The immense, powerfully condensed divine power flowed through her body, dispelling the cold, and she gradually regained her color. If she wanted to, she could go on a space tour with her bare body.

[ … If I wasn’t a transcendent being, I would have died here. It’s annoying. ]

Cynthia thought that the karma of death was going to haunt her until the end.

[Whoa. By the way, I can endure this in space with my bare body. Can I call myself human now?]

Cynthia slowly walked towards Earth, muttering in a whisper. She had already entered the solar system and was close to Earth.

Floating through space naked, she was largely unaffected by the cold of space and moved about in the vacuum of space without a problem.

That was the kind of being that was meant to be a superior transcendent being.

She is also an apostle of foreign affairs, but she doesn’t have to go that far.

[ I don’t know. What the. If I think I’m human, then I’m human. ]

Cynthia’s blue eyes glowed. The power of illusion realization that she had received from Irina was fading away. The power of illusion was not originally hers, but Irina’s. Even though she had received it from her, the basis of her divine power was Irina’s. Because of this causal relationship, after Irina’s death, illusion realization gradually lost its power.

[ The Earth is covered in a thick darkness… It’s so dark that you can’t see it unless you get close. That’s why it’s hard to find a planet where the apocalypse is happening… Should I say I’m lucky? ]

Cynthia used illusion materialization one last time to regenerate the wounds and scars from the battle. She also completely restored her missing clothes and returned to her previous appearance.

[ Then, shall we enter Earth? ]

Cynthia attempted to use her divine powers to accelerate her body into the Earth’s atmosphere, but at that moment, invisible chains restrained her body.

Charrrrrrrr- Arms, legs, neck, and even torso. Chains rushed towards every part of her body and wrapped around her tightly. If she had wanted to, these chains would be nothing… but what the heck, this.

[ … This is causality? You’re trying to stop me from entering Earth? ]

I tried to break the chain of causality by using my divine power, but the chain was much stronger than I expected.

[ You’ve become too strong, no… you’ve become a transcendent being, so you won’t allow me to intervene in the human world? But since the Watcher of the End has brought an end to the Earth, shouldn’t the law of causality be secured? ]

Cynthia spoke to an unseen location.

In fact, since causality has no will, such words were useless, but if she didn’t say something like this, Cynthia wouldn’t be able to hold back her rising anger. Time is of the essence, and it’s been years since they last met…!

In order for her to exert power on Earth, she needed some kind of connection or a divine object she had left behind. Of course, even if she did, the time she could remain on Earth as her true self was limited.

Cynthia felt like she had been hit in the back of the head. There was no way to get back to Earth now, no matter what method she used.

[ Ha, hahaha… Are you kidding me? My brother is right in front of you… and you can’t meet him? ]

If it were the current Cynthia, she could have specifically called Han Sung-jin and protected him from space, but she didn’t want to do something crazy like that.

Cynthia was trying to find a way to enter Earth, breaking the chains of causality one by one. They were tough, but she was able to break them one by one by using the power of the Holy Spirit.

It was during that time.

Paaa- A warm light rose from within Cynthia’s arms and spread around her.

Break- break- the chains that had been binding the body were all destroyed. Cynthia opened her eyes wide in confusion.

[ What is this? The chain of causality is suddenly broken? ]

Cynthia immediately realized that the cause of the broken chain of causality had to do with the light within her arms, and she checked to see what the substance emitting the light was.

[ ring…? ]

It was a pair of rings that Irina had left behind at the moment of her disappearance. The last connection to Irina that remained on the earth as the divine power of illusion materialized. It was changing back into the power of illusion, overlaying reality with illusion.

[ The fantasy is being realized forcibly… ]

Very precisely, and so that no one can notice.

Cynthia’s body was being overlaid with illusions so exquisitely that it could even deceive the causality and fate of the universe.

[ It’s ridiculous to superimpose a mortal’s fate onto the body of a superior transcendent being and use it to deceive causality… It’s truly an ability that’s close to the power of an outsider. ]

Irina left Cynthia one last gift as she faced extinction. So that she could properly return to Earth.

[ Just how far did you see it… Me too. ]

A fantasy come true, imbued with the power of Irina, the apostle of foreign affairs.

It contained the power of the Almighty God, and the original author’s intentions to realize the fantasy were directly contained in it, so its power was beyond imagination. No, even considering that, it was absurd… But now that this absurd thing was unfolding right before my eyes, I couldn’t help but believe it.

The chain of causality was not broken.

It self-destructed. There is no reason to prevent a mortal, not a transcendent being, from entering Earth.

[ The final stage of fantasy realization… Is this the realm of deceiving fate…? Amazing. ]

There was no way to know whether the moment of annihilation was enlightenment or something else.

However, I thought that maybe Irina and Cain had not died and gone to the underworld. If so, was the moment when Irina disappeared at the end an illusion or not? Cynthia had doubts for no reason.

Cynthia took possession of a mortal body and entered Earth. This time, of course, the chains of causality did not stop her.

‘The use of divine power will be limited, but… it should be sufficient. As the end progresses, you may be able to use more power. Yes.’

While the illusion realization is being cast, only a little less than 10% of the power of the original self can be used. Nevertheless, I thought that this would be enough for the time being. Furthermore, if there was a crisis, there was no problem because I could use all of the original self’s power even if I had to throw off the illusion realization and be banished back into space.

‘And, it seems like it’s possible to return the illusion realization to a ring form… They made it so that it can be used permanently, not just once.’

Cynthia caught hold of the phantom power surrounding her body and gathered it together, seeing it transform into a ring. Feeling the chain of causality approaching, she untied the ring again and transformed it into divine power, which wrapped around Cynthia’s body again and transformed her.

“Uh… Ah! We’ve arrived!”

Cynthia landed in the middle of Seoul.

When she arrived at the city center, a huge crater appeared and a shockwave was sent out to the surrounding area, but Cynthia used her divine power to erase all the aftermath.

“But isn’t it too quiet…?”

Seoul in broad daylight was so quiet.

There was no sound of cars, and no people. It seemed like a monster had passed by… but there were no monsters either.

“No, it’s not that there aren’t any.”

There were several strange monsters the size of a person. Dozens of them were seen moving towards somewhere from dozens of kilometers away.

“Looking at the moving path… Is it heading to the Black Tower? It’s almost there. Are they going to destroy it? Hmm… It looks like there’s no one inside.”

Cynthia, who had inspected the Black Tower, confirmed that the people inside had already evacuated to other places. There was not a single bit of magical power left inside.

“Ugh… I have to find my brother. How do I find him… .”

Cynthia wanted to find Han Seong-jin’s location right away, but since her powers were limited, she had no choice but to find him herself. Of course, it was inevitable since the phone wouldn’t ring in this situation.

‘If you explore the entire Korea with divine powers… even if you use illusion realization, you will be rejected by the law of causality.’

Even though she could use her divine powers, she couldn’t use them however she wanted. Cynthia sighed and swung her arms around, wrapping the throwing weapon around her hand.

Paquagwagwagwak – Dozens of arrows made of projectiles appeared in the air and shot in the direction of the monsters. It may seem like excessive suppression, but it was inevitable since Langrt was the only one who had a different sense of the level of force.

“It’s nothing special.”

Cynthia, who had dealt with the monsters advancing toward the Black Tower with one blow, remembered what she had to do and moved her body urgently.

“Oh my… I have to find my brother. I have to stop by my parents’ house to check on my grandfather… Oh, my brother might be at his parents’ house, so I should go there.”

Cynthia moved her body towards the shrine.
